OVERVIEW ************************************************************ The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software installs Windows* INF files to the target system. These files outline to the operating system how to configure the Intel(R) chipset components in order to ensure that the following feature functions properly: - Identification of Intel(R) Chipset Components in the Device Manager - Modern Standby requires that 0 devices report problems (no yellow bangs in Device Manager) This software can be installed in three modes: Interactive, Silent and Unattended Preload. Interactive Mode requires user input during installation; Silent Mode and Unattended Preload do not. This software is DCHU compliant D - compliant C - compliant, due to not implemented H - compliant, due to no UI components U - compliant This software also offers a set of command line switches, which provide additional installation choices. Refer to Section 4 for detailed descriptions of these switches. Note: Intel(R) Chipset Device Software uses an unusual date for the devices it is targeting. The date 07/18/1968 is symbolic - Intel was founded that day. The reason this date is used is to lower the rank of Intel(R) Chipset Device Software. This is necessary because it's a supporting utility that should not overwrite any other drivers. Updating Intel(R) Chipset Device Software is not needed - do not worry if you don't have the latest version. ************************************************************ * 2.

CONTENTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE ************************************************************ The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software package contains the following items: File(s) ------- SetupChipset.exe -or- Chipset__VIP.zip -or- Chipset__MUP.zip -or- Chipset__BKC.zip -or- Chipset___MUP.zip -or- Chipset___BKC.zip The string could be similar to "10.0.0", and the string could be similar to "Pre-Alpha", "Alpha", "Beta, "Public", or "NDA". ************************************************************ * 3A. PUBLIC AND NDA CONFIGURATIONS ************************************************************ The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software supports two types of configurations, "Public" and "NDA". The Public configuration has all Intel Confidential (IC) information, such as platform codenames, stripped out of the build. The NDA configuration includes this information, as well as extra installation functionality that is not safe enough to be released publicly, but is required for validation efforts. For this reason, NDA-configured releases are not permitted to be released publicly or to anyone not possessing a Non-Dislosure Agreement (NDA) with Intel Corporation. To help identify whether a given build configured with NDA functionality, a large red banner has been added to the user interface of the installer, stating that it is an NDA build. The Public and NDA configurations are only available for production releases, "Production Candidate" (PC) and "Production Version" (PV). For non-production releases Pre-Alpha, Alpha, and Beta, it is assumed that the build will not be released publicly. Therefore, non-production releases only have one configuration, the NDA configuration. The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software does not support installation of both build configurations on a single machine, this will result in an error thrown by the Microsoft Windows* Installer framework during the second installation, manifesting as an error message in the log files and on the installer user interface when running in Interactive mode. The installer will exit with code 666. ************************************************************ * 4. LIST OF AVAILABLE COMMAND LINE FLAG OPTIONS ************************************************************ The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software supports several command line switches for various installation options.

This can be done by opening 'My Computer', right-clicking on the correct drive, and selecting 'Properties'. IMPORTANT NOTE: The installer executable (SetupChipset.exe) must always be run to guarantee correct installation. In the case of INF injection, this means that the installer must be run after the OS installation completes, even if the INF files have already been installed via INF injection or Have Disk installation. By [supported Windows OS] it is meant a Windows operating system that is listed in section 2. The simplest method for installing Windows onto new hardware is to start directly from the Windows product DVD with an answer file called Autounattend.xml. Boot the computer with the Windows Setup media in the DVD drive and the configuration set available on an external drive. By default, Windows Setup searches all removable media for an answer file called Autounattend.xml. Autounattend.xml must be located at the root of the removable media. The answer file enables you to automate all or parts of Windows Setup Including adding INF files. You can create an answer file by using Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM). Microsoft* published a Windows Automated Installation Kit(WAIK) (Must be the supported Windows OS version) which facilitates creation of answer files and image creation for unattended installs of supported Windows OS with tools such as Windows SIM To create a configuration set you will need: Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) installed on a technician computer.
